An update has been made to the Geo-Visualization. More places are not shown on the map, representing institutes/hospitals where researchers worked at one point in their career. By clicking on of the places/dots, a list of institutes will be produced, showing all researchers who have worked there once upon clicking on the institutes' name.

Updated the entry for Anthony, Heinke, Redhardt, H. Schaefer and Weissig (sources & affiliations). Furthermore, I have changed “PhD-student” to “Dr.med. candidate”. The German doctoral degree in medicine (Dr.med.) is not internationally recognized as the equivalent of a PhD, as the requirements are much lower for the Dr.med. than for the PhD.

Upgraded the website to a new design and framework (see tech talk). The website should now be responsive, i.e. it should automatically adapt to different screen sizes, such as smartphone, desktop PC or tablet. I need to do more testing, though.

Some updates in the roles of actors to make them consistent. Also, I have set all unidentified citizenships to “German”. Judging from their names and careers, it is most likely that they were Germans, although I could find no explicit information. Should I find evidence to the contrary, I will update the records accordingly.

I have added a geographical visualization. This is very beta at the moment, in terms of data being displayed. Right now, only the European borders of 1937 and some major cities are displayed. I am currently working on statistical data about the medical infrastructure in 1930s Germany, which will then displayed on the map.

Updated the entry for Schröder (career & sources) and Schütz (career). Also corrected some minor errors (such as spelling errors).

2014-05-06

Updated the entry for Pichotka and Pickhan (data, career & sources). Also corrected some minor errors (such as spelling errors).

Added a field “Remark” to the bottom of the “Personal Info” section on the actors' pages. Some biographies aren't so straight-forward, so they need a little explanation. Only a few actors have anything set in this field yet, but I will add more comments step by step.

2013-05-06

Updated the design of the actor pages: now with jQuery's Accordion UI widget (JavaScript must be activated, otherwise the page won't look much different). Also updated the entries for Haarstrick and Gordon (data, affiliations & sources).

2013-04-28

Updated the entry for Wagner (affiliations & corrected a typo in the dob), and did some minor corrections.

Have updated the way publications are displayed: now there are links to the entries of the co-authors. Plus: Updated the entry for Kostic (data & source).

2013-01-12

Updated the way affiliations are displayed: now grouped by career, political, and societies. Furthermore, some of the entries in the affiliation section are linked into the glossary or external websites. Plus: updated the entries for Denzer (data & source) and Thauer (affiliations & source).

Introduced a search page. Since all researchers are grouped alphabetically already it wouldn't make much sense to offer a full-text search. So what I did is to introduce categories. For now, only filtering by country is available, but more categories will be added.

Updated the entry for Rein (affiliations); also updated the formatting of the affiliation table for the entries.

After an initial test phase, the Gaeromed database website is now officially launched. There might still be a few glitches in the site and a lot of information either not yet reseached or not yet entered into the database, but things are progressing. I will try to fill in the gaps in the data, and create some more visualizations.
